Chapter 47: Have You Ever Experienced Despair?

On September 2, the sixth year of Xin'an, the whole of Anju was enveloped by a torrential downpour.

The walls of Xinwei County are not very high, and the city walls of this small wilderness county have been in disrepair for a long time due to the lack of war, and today's pouring rain makes it look even worse.

"It's raining heavily!" Bai Wei, who was covered by wild goose feathers, stretched out a hand, as if she wanted to feel the baptism of this heavy rain.

Coupled with the siege of Pan Min Cottage a few days ago, this is the second time Bai Wei has led the army. I remember that when I was entrusted with a heavy task by Jiangnan just now, there were still many people in the army who were not convinced, and after some comparisons, the 20,000 Jiangzhou soldiers in Jiangnan no longer regarded Bai Wei as a woman.

Bai Wei has worked very hard, and now she can say that her heart has long been entrusted to Jiangnan, and she is not very good at leading troops to fight, but because there is only one person at the level of Ling Zhu, Bai Wei still stepped forward and asked Ling Zhu, who is also a treasure general, for advice.

She had already replaced her accustomed dagger, and in her left hand she held a slender treasure knife carved with a dragon, which was not difficult for people on earth to see, like the popular Tang knife.

Du Yang Tanjing around him was arranged by Jiangnan to follow Bai Wei's army, and the 10,000 Jiangzhou soldiers behind him were even more indifferent, but if someone observed carefully, it could be seen that there was an unbearable killing intent hidden under the indifferent faces of these soldiers.

"Kill!"

Bai Wei slowly raised the Tang knife that Jiangnan had personally built for herself, and just now, the military division group in the rear had already sent a signal to attack Xinwei County.

Bai Wei moved, and the 10,000 troops behind him also moved, and the Jiangzhou soldiers, who were mostly cavalry, basically gave up their mounts and rushed towards the city wall of Xinwei County one by one as if they had been injected with hormones.

Just when Bai Wei launched an offensive at the east gate, Ling Zhu at the north gate also issued an order to attack.

In fact, Ling Quan has always been a little dissatisfied with the fact that Jiangnan released the Three Tigers of Changling, and his brother Du Yang was almost shot to death by Pan Min, so how can the thief who has been caught with his hands tied up say that he will let go?

Fortunately, there are two strategists in Jiangnan, Chen Lin and Guo Zhun, and under this three-inch incorruptible tongue, Ling Zhu gradually understood the stakes.

Ling Zhu is fierce, but it does not mean that he is not kind, although the three tigers of Changling are thieves, but they also see the tolerance of Ling Zhu in the far and near townships.

It's just that this righteous man really can't get over his own hurdle. Even if the person concerned Du Yang has persuaded Ling Pressure, how can such a tenacious man easily let go of the conclusion in his heart?

"Then let's see what strength you have!" A sneer suddenly hung on Ling Scar's face!

As the main force of Jiangnan's attack on Xinwei County this time, Ling Jian naturally got a lot of materials, and the only five catapults in Jiangnan's hands have all been allocated to him, and as long as they are soldiers who are good at bows and arrows above the army are all assigned to Ling Chong's troops.

"Sons, smash me!" Ling Jian roared like crazy, he understood Jiangnan's bet with the Three Tigers of Changling, at this time, he couldn't allow anyone to break through the city gate before him!

Whether it was the killing shouts of Bai Wei's troops at the east gate, or the smashing sound of the catapults of the Ling troops at the north gate, they had already made Pan Min of the West Gate frown.

Now he still remembers the scene when Jiang Nanyi explained them a few days ago.

What's more important is the gambling contract with Jiangnan, if you take the lead in breaking through Xinwei County, then all the grain and grass in Jiangnan are your own, which is basically the cost of the whole village for a few months.

If it fails, then the matter of grain and grass will naturally not be discussed, and the cottage of the three brothers will probably be disbanded and all under the command of Jiangnan.

Pan Min and the three of them are all smart people, and Jiang Nan's love for him is not that he can't see it, but he still has greater concerns in his heart.

If he really fails, it is not considered to be a family leader for him according to the reputation of the rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River, but what about the old and young women and children in his cottage.

Jiang Nan is obviously a general, and with this group of old and young women and children, he will definitely pull the legs of the Jiangnan army, even if Jiangnan wants to arrange these old and young women and children to live in Xinwei County, it will require a lot of money.

In other words, if he becomes the general of Jiangnan, he will probably feel uneasy when he sees his lord spending a lot of money for a group of helpless people for himself

So for all this, you can't easily admit defeat! Pan Min bit hard, thinking secretly in his heart.

Zhou Cake and Zheng Ke have already led these 10,000 cottage minions to rush out, and with the leadership of two heroic generals in the later period, their own side can be regarded as dominant.

What's more, at this time, Xinwei County was already under attack on three sides.

But he is not a regular army like Jiangnan, but a group of bandits who go around robbing houses.

No catapults, no ramming, no great archers! Even in the face of a short city wall like Xinwei, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Then use the corpses to pile up, I have long seen that this gang of white thieves is unhappy!

There are still a few ladders in the Pan Min cottage, and with the courage of Zheng and the two of them this week, a small number of troops have also climbed the city wall.

At this time, if you look at it from above, Xinwei County is like a huge cake, and the three-sided army of Pan Min in Jiangnan is like an endless stream of tired ants.

Most of the defenders of Xinwei County were soldiers of the Supreme Kingdom who were forced to surrender to the Taibai Sect, and in such an era of turmoil, the instinct of people was to survive.

In the face of the wanton bombardment of the armies on three sides, Xinwei County has a faint tendency to rout.

Fortunately, the general who stayed here to defend the city was Shi Tao, one of the four generals of Taibai, and as a young general trained by Huang Quan himself, he still had a few hard spirits!

"Made! Block it for me! Shi Tao roared and beheaded a soldier who was about to flee with a sword.

But even if he made an example, the pressure on Shi Tao's shoulders was still not light, and although there were many soldiers, the defect of not having enough generals was fully exposed.

Shi Tao basically had just finished commanding the defense of the east gate and had to quickly run to the north gate to defend against the attack of Ling Chong, and then the west gate.

Although Xinwei County is not big, it is quite physically exhausting to run back and forth on the city tower with manpower, if it is not for the heroic strength, Shi Tao is afraid that he is already tired.

"Damn! When did this group of Changling thieves collude with officers and soldiers! At this time, Shi Tao had already run to the west gate, and when he saw Pan Minbu's human flesh tactics, his vest was cold.

Bai Wei at the east gate mainly used feints to divert the attention of the Xin Siege defenders. The Ling Pressure at the North Gate had a large number of siege engines, as few casualties as the archers' cover.

The only one is this Simon Pan Min. The tactic of piling up corpses shows more and more that this gang of bandits is very hot, whether it is the Changling side or the Xinwei County side, the dead and wounded soldiers are probably counted in thousands.

And their deaths are quite tragic, the Changling thieves are hit by heavy objects or arrows on the ladder, and they are all blooming on the top of their heads, red and white.

And the side of Xinwei County is not much better. Once it is broken through by a Changling thief, then it must be a sword.

The fierceness of the battle has dyed the walls of the West Gate a bright red, and even if it rains heavily today, it may not be able to wash away these bright red marks.

"Xie Taishou! Why haven't you come yet! Shi Tao forced himself to ask a Dubo beside him.

"I have just sent someone to inform Xie Taishou, Xie Taishou said...... "Du Bo knows Shi Tao's character very well, for fear of angering him."

"What did he say! Tell me! ”

"Xie Taishou said that defending the city is your business, general, and it is useless for him to be a civil official!"

"Bastard!" Shi Tao wanted to say something, but in the next second, he found it difficult to control the power of his mouth!

Feeling the severe pain in his heart, he subconsciously looked down, only to see that the bow and arrow had been running through his body.

He didn't have a chance to see the man who shot him, because at this moment he was already dead and couldn't die anymore.

Pan Min put away his bow and arrows, but at this time there was no trace of joy in shooting the enemy general, and his heart was constantly trembling when he saw that the cottage brothers who usually called him brothers and sisters had been in different places one by one.

"The general is dead!" The Dubo suddenly shouted desperately, and then ran to the city.

And after such a shout, the news of Shi Tao's death instantly spread in the Xinwei City Tower.

"This is the opportunity! Rush me up! ”

Ling Quan had already given up on the war horse, and at this time he had already taken the lead in rushing up the ladder.

The long-term training of the 400-meter obstacle course made his overall quality even stronger, and he was halfway up the climb when he grabbed a protruding stone pier with his hands and climbed to the top of the city wall with all his strength.

The suppression of the late stage of the treasure general was nothing less than a nightmare for the soldiers of Xinwei County. At this time, he didn't bring the Fang Tian Painting Halberd with him because he climbed the cloud ladder, but even this did not prevent him from harvesting this group of ants in his eyes!

"Good!" Jiangnan got the news that the north gate had been breached, and even claimed that it was good.

After quickly sorting out the map in his hand, he said to Chen Guoren: "Since Shi Tao is dead and Lao Jian has broken the north gate, then we will go to meet this Taibai Sect Taishou Xie Xiaojun!" ”

Bai Wei got the news that the North Gate had been broken, so she quickly ordered the army to move closer to the North Gate, and after quickly controlling the situation at the North Gate, she was already waiting for Jiangnan here with a smile.

Ling pressed and kicked the gate of the Taishou Mansion open, and there was indeed a smell of intoxicating alcohol in front of him.

Jiang Nan and the others frowned tightly, looking at the scene in front of them, it really made everyone feel cold for the people who believed in the Taibai Sect.

The so-called Taishou Xie Xiaojun still sat on the Taishou chair, and there were a large number of expensive wines and delicacies on the table in front of him.

In the hall, some women were undressed, twisting their waists unwillingly in the center of Xie Xiaojun's greedy eyes.

"Brute!" Ling Zhu couldn't hold it anymore, and a few quick steps stepped forward and kicked Xie Xiaojun upside down with one kick.

The singers who danced in Chiguo were scattered in shock, and Bai Wei, who was also a woman, had already put the Tang knife on Xie Xiaojun's neck.

"You... Who are you? Xie Xiaojun, who was in the haze, woke up in pain, looking at Jiangnan and his party with endless panic in their eyes.

"Taibai Sect Xinwei is too shou Xie Xiaojun, known as Robin layman, can be good at literature and martial arts, I didn't expect it to be such a virtuous person!" Jiang Nan had long figured out the information of these high-ranking officials of the Taibai Sect, and he had already blurted out at this time.

Xie Xiaojun heard this, and his body on the ground kept crawling backwards with his hands, but Bai Wei's Tang knife never left his neck.

"You... You guys! You can't kill me! I. I. I'm a celebrity in front of General Jishi! ”

Jiang Nan put on a weird smile and looked at Xie Xiaojun, whose underwear was already soaked, and slowly spoke.

"Xie Taishou, have you experienced despair?"
